EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of religious art titled "St Etienne (St Stephen) and St Agatha". Painted by the talented Carolo Bonone in the late 16th century, this oil on canvas masterpiece is now held in a private collection. The painting depicts two revered Sicilian saints, St Etienne and St Agatha, who lived around 250 AD. Intriguingly, the silver cup they hold contains something truly unique - it holds St Agatha's severed breasts. This symbolizes her martyrdom as she was subjected to torture for her Christian faith. Accompanying them is an angel gracefully presenting palm leaves, representing their status as martyrs. The composition of this artwork is visually striking; the vibrant colors and intricate details bring these saints to life. From the bottom corner emerges a donor figure whose identity remains unknown but adds an element of mystery to the scene. While this print captures only a fraction of its true grandeur, it offers viewers a glimpse into centuries-old religious devotion and artistic brilliance. It serves as a reminder of how religion has inspired artists throughout history to create awe-inspiring works that continue to captivate audiences today.
